Aurifil Giveaway--CLOSED

I received some spools of thread to try out. I can't wait to find the right project for that variegated thread.

Aurifil has five different types of thread:

12 wt cotton: Embellishment and Sashiko

12 wt wool: Cross stitch and hand embroidery

28 wt cotton: Hand quilting and blanket stitch

40 wt cotton: Machine quilting and embroidery

50 wt cotton: The best thread for piecing and applique

I received a spool of each type to try out.

I also received a couple color cards. I love all these colors. I just want to display them. These are all their wool thread colors.

And all the cotton colors.

These cute little spool were also in my package:

I admit I'm a little sad to give these away. I love all the fun colors and could definitely find a use for them, but five of you will get a chance to win a set of threads from Aurifil. Each pack contains a spool of all five Auriful threads.

Just leave a comment, and Mr. Random will pick our winners on Tuesday, September 20th.

Don't laugh at me but I feel bad now entering the giveaway when you'd love so badly to keep one for yourself! My heart goes "oh!". Thank you for pulling through and carrying on with the giveaway regardless!

I've just started using some of this thread and I love it! I didn't realize 40 was the weight to use for quilting. I'm pretty sure I've always used the 50 that I piece with. I'll have to give it a try!

Aurifil thread is the BEST! I buy white, beige and cream by the jumbo cone that's 6,472 yards! It may seem pricey at about $30, but it lasts for years for machine piecing, machine applique, and machine quilting. Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm SO putting my name in the hat for this one! I haven't had the chance to use any Aurifil thread yet and so want to! I simply stink at picking weights of threads. *sigh* Thanks SO much for the chance to win!

I keep hearing how wonderful these threads are but buying even one spool (online, no local shop around here) costs an arm an a leg. I would love to try it out and see if it really is as super as I've heard

I've heard such lovely things about Aurifil thread but so far it is proving as elusive in giveaways as the Go! Baby *sigh*Thanks for the chance to win some, Kati. I understand how difficult it will be to part with them :)
